I believe Game shooting is acceptable, and indeed, needed in today's modern Britain.

I will attempt to prove this in the following essay, by taking the most favored anti-shooting arguments and answering them, point for point.

Game birds are released into the wild to die in huge numbers unnecessarily and unnaturally:

Game birds, in this case pheasants (as grouse shooting is entirely wild), are released into the wild after being reared in outdoor pens for several weeks. They are then given several months and weeks to acclimatize themselves to the wilds. The pheasants do wander onto roads, but so does practically any other animal, especially agricultural animals (sheep/cows on the road). They live a free life, and are free to go from the area at anytime, as the only thing holding them back, and indeed can hold them back, are the presence of game feeders. These game feeders not only feed the local wildlife and songbirds, and provide a source of food all year round.

It is a high probability that many of the woods used in rearing and the holding of pheasants would not exist today, as they would have been returned to farmland as they are unsound to the agriculture economy. In fact, a large proportion of Britain's hedgerows would not exist today if it were not for gameshooting. Those very same woods and hedgerows provide a HUGE increase in wildlife habitation for nature.

Gamebirds die in an unnatural and incredibly painful way:

Gamebirds, on nearly all counts, are given a free life, in which they are free to mate, eat, fly, and wander over the earth wherever they may please. And, maybe once a year, they a flown over a group of sportsmen, where they have more chance of being untouched by gunfire than any cow being used for meat has of escaping the abattoir. They have a better life than any cow or chicken, and more chance of surviving. Even when they have the unlucky odds, they often die as soon as they are shot, and if they are shot by an incompetent shot, who are often not allowed too shoot, their necks are broken almost instantly when they hit the ground. There are occasional times when a pheasant may be hit by a clipping shot, and will glide to the ground. These 'runners' are then retrieved (but not killed) by a gun dog, and will be killed humanly.

Game shooting only serves to irritate the communities and does nothing to help them:

Per annum, shooting contributes 1.3 billion pounds to the British economy. It helps this country with 1 300 000 000 pounds sterling per year. This is not a figure to be scoffed at. Gameshooting provides 70 000 full time jobs per year, not counting the amount of part time jobs it offers teenagers and young adults.

Thanks to shooting, two million hectares are actively conserved through the 250 million spent on conservation efforts in Britain alone. The equivalent of 2.7 million work days on conservation is provided by shooting and consequently we have a much wider amount of natural countryside and different habitats, as well as a method, indeed a vessel in which old traditions (not necessarily shooting) can continue and be passed down the generations.

Shooting has helped put Game firmly on the menu, with it being served in butchers and often supermarkets around the country. It has been served in high class London restaurants, and has been promoted by Famous chefs (Michel Roux, Brian Turner, Antony Worrall Thompson and Anton Mosimann).

When game is shot, the birds are nearly all retrieved, and put in a refrigerator trailer. They are not thrown away, or buried to rot. They are handed out fairly around the shooters and the estate larder and nearly every one of them is eaten.

Gamebird chicks are reared in huge numbers in cramped conditions:

Grouse chicks are reared on the moor, completely in the wild, so it is not applicable to them. Pheasant eggs are first hatched in large incubators, and then moved, as like any young chicks, to an area where the chicks are near heat lamps and plentiful food. Chick aggressiveness is not uncommon, but is usually cure when they, as poults, are released to the keepers across the country, to be grown in rearing pens. Of course, some keepers choose to rear their own chicks, and this is obviously slower than the other method.

In conclusion, I believe Gameshooting is justifiable and indeed, needed in today's Britain, to put another form of healthy food on the shelf (Indeed it has been proved Pheasant is an anti-depressant!) , and that game shooting is less cruel to the Gamebirds than an abattoir is too cows.

Control Plant Diseases Before It Destroy your Plants

Plant diseases are usually produced by different kinds of organisms. Diseases that affects the leaf and the stems are bacteria, fungi or viruses. Soilborne diseases on the other hand are caused by various fungi. Bacterial diseases are caused by bacteria who are unable to manufacture their own food thus they depend on the host plant for food depriving the plants of the nutrients necessary for a healthy growth.

Fungal diseases are the most widespread plant maladies. Fungi parasitically obtain their food from green plants, causing diseases in the process. Fungi produces spores in great number which are tiny reproductive bodies. These spores can be carried by wind or water. Each spore will germinate and grow producing new infections. Viral diseases are viruses capable of invading plant tissue and reproducing in it. Viruses can be spread by aphids, leafhoppers and thrips. Even humans can spread viruses by propagating virus-infected plants.

Other factors that causes this are the plants own interaction with unfavorable environmental factors. This includes air pollution, a deficiency or excess of sunlight which is its main source of nutrients. It can also be the climate. Climate adaptability in plants is very important. Plant disease can be caused by climate which is too hot, too cold, too dry or too wet.

Kinds of Leaf and Stem Diseases

1. Anthracnose - infects leaves, produces large, irregular brown blotches which causes premature dropping of leaves.

2. Black Spot - it appears on leaves and stems as roughly circular spots of black with fringed edges, usually circled with yellow.

3. Dutch Elm Disease - also known as DED. Can be spread from infected trees to nearby healthy ones by natural root grafting.

4. Fireblight - it is carried to blossoms by splashing water, flies and other insects. Infection can also enter a plant through any fresh wound in the bark or foliage.

5. Leaf Spot - it is red, brown, yellow, or black disease spots on leaves and stems. Severe infection of this disease can cause some plants to defoliate.

6. Peach Leaf Curl - the curled and distorted leaves may be tinged with red, pink, yellow or white. Later they may become covered with white spores that can be carried by the wind to other leaves or plants.

7. Powdery Mildew - if first appears as small gray or white circular patches on plant tissue, spreading rapidly to form powdery areas of fungus filaments and spores.

8. Scab - the scab fungus differs from other leaf-infecting fungi in that the dark spots on leaves represent fungus growth on the foliage rather than areas of dead tissue.

9. Rust - this disease is specific to a certain type of plant. Rose rust will not infect hollyhocks and vice versa.

Soil borne Diseases

1. Damping Off - the stem of a seedling collapses at or near the soil surface and the seedling topples. It can also rot the seedling before it emerges from the soil or causes the seed to decay before sprouting.

2. Oak Root Fungus - the fungus kills its host by gradually decaying the roots and moving into the main stem, where it girdles the plant.

3. Root Rots, water Molds - the damage to roots from overwatering is, in almost all cases, not caused by water itself but by water-mold fungi that thrive when free water stands too long around roots - especially when soil is warm.

4. Verticillium Wilt - it invades and plugs the water conducting tissue in the roots and stems. A common symptom is a wilting of one side of the plant.

Ways to Control Plant Diseases

As with any kind of diseases, prevention is still the best line of defense. As much as possible choose plants that are disease resistant. Also make sure that planting locations and conditions don't encourage diseases.

There are products readily available in the market for this purpose. One classification are called preventives - as the word suggest it prevents diseases from occuring, but these products are ineffective once the disease are already established. The other classification is called eradicants - once the disease is established, eradicants are helpful in controlling them.

Before using any of these products, it will be wise to read the labels very carefully. Be sure to apply the products only if the plant is listed. It can cause damaged if applied to inappropriate plants.

Here are some of these products and the common disease they each control.

1. Sulfur - used to prevent powdery mildew, scab and rust. It is one of the oldest and safest fungicides

2. Lime Sulfur - It controls some mites, scale insects and thrips. Also used to prevent various leaf spots, peach leaf curl, and powdery mildew.

3. Captan - for prevention or eradication of damping-off, leaf spots and many other fungal diseases.

4. Triforine - for prevention or eradication of powdery mildew, rust, black spot and a variety of other diseases.

5. Copper Compounds - often used to prevent fireblight, peach leaf curl, and shot hole diseases.

6. Chlorothalonil - it prevents diseases on lawns, fruits, vegetables and ornamentals.

7. Triadimefon - effective against azalea petal blight. It can also prevent powdery mildew, rust and some lawn diseases.

Female Betta with Fin Rot - treatment not working, please advise if you have professional betta experience?

When rot started changed to larger 1 1/2 gal bowl, full water change every 36 hours with de-chlorinated water w/ aquarium salt in it. Using Maracyn-TC (250mg tetracyline hydrochloride) at proper dosage per gallon at each change. Has been nearly two weeks and fins continue to deteriorate. Fish eats but rot is starting to affect her swimming and she stays near surface.

fin rot can be very easy to cure, but it can also be persistent if not addressed properly.

first off, the best remedy is natural remedy. and that's warm, clean water. if your betta is in an unheated bowl, it's going to be extremely tough to fix it. and because she is in a bowl, frequent water changes are a must, which can disrupt the medication's effect.

she needs to be warm if you want to aid in her recovery. i suppose you could try a heat lamp or raise your room temperature. Even then, the temperature could rise and fall at a rather irregular rate if you aren't careful.

you actually should consider getting your fish at least a 3 gallon tank. they aren't terribly expensive if you know what to look for. the right living conditions would have prevented the fin rot to begin with. she needs a heater and a cycled filter (among other things...) to maintain a healthy life. if the fin rot continues, you could easily lose your fish.

but for now, raise your room temperature and keep the water clean with pinches of aquarium salt. try not to completely dose her with constant medication. it's unhealthy and will eventually just over stress your fish. hopefully, you'll begin to see some improvement. but you may have caught it a tad too late.

we'll see eventually, hhmm?
